i watched the movie five times it is really one of the best ever romantic movie ever made in Tamil.
there are lot of scenes in which every one could relate to themselves.
everything in the movie is best.story,screenplay are good,music excellent,cinematography good,acting is also good,
so everything is done well in this movie,which makes the audience watch it again and again.
the movie looks like as if it is based on a true story
but only the climax twist may be inspired from annie hall...
trisha's characterization is brilliant....
simbu gives his best till date..
best work from gautham menon...

"Vinnaithaandi varuvaayaa" is a feel good romantic movie by Gautham Vasudev Menon starring simbu and trisha After a successful Vaaranam Aayiram GVM ventures into his next project Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, focusing entirely on the best emotion in the world, LOVE, a subject that the brilliant director is known to handle with style, finesse, panache and a lot of heart. Although, VTV could have been an apt Valentine’s Day presentation, it nevertheless does not cease to impress the target audience, the YOUTH.VTV is all about falling in love, the emotions, confusions and the innumerable roller-coaster sensations associated with it. Karthik (Silambarasan), a mechanical engineer is an aspiring film director. It is love at first sight for this young man with his landlords daughter Jessy (Trisha), a Malayalee Christian and a computer professional. Karthik expresses his love to her in a quite unexpected manner but she does not accept it citing practical reasons. Notwithstanding her absence even for a short while, Karthik reaches Kerala along with his cinematographer friend Ganesh.He finds Jessy in the pretext of apologizing to her for his behavior but earns her friendship. The ensuing train trip to Chennai from Allapuzha paves way for a deeper bond between the two. Meanwhile Karthik rubs Jessy’s brother on the wrong side which creates a wedge between the two families and Karthiks family is made to vacate the premises. This triggers the hasty fixing of marriage for Jessy in Kerala. Needless to say, Karthik reaches there and what happens thereafter form the crux of Vinnaithaandi Varuavaayaa. The answers to questions like whether Karthik and Jessy unite in marriage or go their individual ways are narrated with a trademark Gautham Menon’s style.
This is the first time Gautham teams up with A R Rahman and his music has already scorched the charts and the songs are the strong pillars to the film.The movie is a visual treat and characters are so real to make people believe.On the flip side the narration is very slow and is not suitable for commercial audience.As for me i consider the movie as a emotional heartbreak and the best work by GVM ever. hats off!!!!9/10..

What a big expectation for this movie.......I think the BIGGEST for a romantic flick. 15 minutes in to the movie I thought this is the landmark one not only for the crew but also for the Tamil film industry. ohhh...is there any magic Gautham is spelling on his actresses? I promise by heart, I have never seen Trisha more beautiful than this.
Let us get in to the first half...
I can boldly say this is the best chemistry between the lead pair in the decade (not to forget alaipayudhe).What beautiful dialogues......same like Mani Ratnam......
And now I know why he chose Rahman for the music. It indeed forms the backbone of the movie. what a classical BG score.....
Gautham is getting bigger with his movies.The main plus for his movies is that the critics have never been able to find out a point to make him down.
And what a screenplay by this guy (though nobody is surprised here because even his Pachaikili Muthucharam which was less than impressive @ the BO,had a great screenplay)
The second part of the movie now
I don't think any different theme about love can be explored at this time as everything has already been made. So Gautham plays with the age old theme of boy meets girl of different religion and
falls in love and the girl fearing about their parents' acceptance. But of course he has put his midas touch at it. And it his hard at this stage of Tamil cinema to give out an out andout romantic flick and that too with the lead pair occupying around 90% of the screen space.
The only flip for this movie is the slow pace at this part of the movie. The dialogues between the lead pair do tell me that he is the next one to take the mantle of Mani sir..... And all of us know that it is not only in romance he is good at but can do action flicks too like KK & VV.....Just the same way as Mani does.... But not a coincidence they both are at their best at romance....
And finally the climax
Any directors ability is fully answered only by the way he does his climax....and Gautham will get my maximum points for this climax...he does raise everybodys eyebrows after the climax...........Particularly this climax will stay in our minds for a long time to come..... this too comes the same way as Mani Ratnams

After a long time,i have a seen a romantic movie with great music and excellent acting.10 years after Alaipayuthey,here comes a story which is not a love triangle and concentrates only between the 2 characters,Karthik played by Silambarasan and Jesse played by Trisha Krishnan
15 minutes into the movie you get completely hooked as the movie has a great start with excellent background music by A.R.Rahman and you feel the same as the main protagonist Karthik feels for Jesse.all you want while watching, is the love story between karthik and Jesse to happen.
The movie scores high on its screenplay and keeps you hooked scene by scene,the dialogues which is kept simple but still with a high feel.Superb cinematography,Kerala has never been so beautiful before.
But finally the movie belongs to 4 very important people 1)T.R.Silambarasan as karthik who has enacted his part with great charm and his lover boy attitude is hard to ignore 2)Trisha as Jesse,a girl who u can really say as a girl next door with her sexy looks even in her Indian attire,which is hard to find in today's movies as most of the heroins concentrate on western looks.She plays her part well and forms a great pair with karthik. 3)a fantastic music by A.R rahman,his background score makes you feel and drives you into the movie and also some great songs like hosanna,Omanapenne,Mannipaya.You really have to watch this movie to believe why A.R. Rahman is considered the Best in the business 4)and finally,the director Gautham Menon,after a string of hits like Minnale,Kakha Kakha,Vettaiyadu Vilayadu,Vaaranam Aayiram and now Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya.,the direction by Gautham Menon is superb and effort can be seen during the climax when u get a huge surprise
my verdict..10 out of 10...watch it for its sincerity and for its feel
